Fares

(from 9 October 2011)

You will need to pay the exact fare, as our drivers do not carry change. This helps keep Reading's buses on time and our drivers safe. We operate a flat fare policy in Central Reading.

The best way to pay for your bus travel is with a simplyBus smartcard - no need to carry cash. Find out more>>>
